hiv_transmission: HIV transmission network (1988-2001)
A set of networks of HIV transmissions between people through sexual, needle-sharing, or social connections, based on combining 8 datasets collected from 1988 to 2001. Metadata includes test results of several diseases, as well as demographic variables such as age, ethnicity, and gender. Networks come in two flavors: egodyads and altdyads. Egodyads are the network among study-participants and their direct partners. Altdyads are the…

Magnetoencephalography (MEG) Based Non-Invasive Chinese Speech Decoding
As an emerging paradigm of brain-computer interfaces (BCIs), speech BCI has the potential to directly reflect auditory perception and thoughts, offering a promising communication alternative for patients with aphasia. Chinese is one of the most widely spoken languages in the world, whereas there is very limited research on speech BCIs for Chinese language. This paper reports a text-magnetoencephalography (MEG) dataset for non-invasive Chinese speech BCIs. It also proposes a multi-modality assis…

Encoding of Demographic and Anatomical Information in Chest X-Ray-based Severe Left Ventricular Hypertrophy Classifiers
While echocardiography and MRI are clinical standards for evaluating cardiac structure, their use is limited by cost and accessibility.We introduce a direct classification framework that predicts severe left ventricular hypertrophy from chest X-rays, without relying on anatomical measurements or demographic inputs. Our approach achieves high AUROC and AUPRC, and employs Mutual Information Neural Estimation to quantify feature expressivity. This reveals clinically meaningful attribute encoding a…
